A Monroe County jury has found Khaleef Reed guilty of second-degree murder for a fatal shooting earlier this year.

Reed, 34, was convicted for the March 31 shooting of 27-year-old Sir-Cordae Hightower, according to a statement by the Monroe County District Attorney's Office.

The unprovoked attack, according to the DA's office, occurred in broad daylight and was witnessed by Hightower's sister. Hightower was shot four times in the driveway of a residence on Wilkins Street in Rochester.

After the shooting, Reed left the Rochester area and was apprehended in Jonesboro, Georgia.

Reed will be sentenced on Jan. 30 by Monroe County Court Judge Douglas Randall.
